Visual SPA Editor Product Brief
Go headless with no limits for your marketers. Enable marketers to edit the structure, layout and content of a fully headless SPA (Single-page Application), directly in the Magnolia Page Editor.
Benefits of the Magnolia SPA Editor
Compelling experiences
Single-page Apps (SPAs) allow marketers to create compelling experiences that increase visitor retention and engagement. Due to less full page reloads and a better overall performance, SPAs provide faster, more fluid and more engaging end-user experiences.
Creative control
Craft experiences, instead of just entering content. Marketers can edit the structure, layout and content of a SPA directly in the Magnolia Page Editor, with the ability to choose which components to place, where to place them, and what kind of layout to use.
Live preview
Marketers can preview the experience built with an SPA just as end users will see it. This way, they are not disconnected from the actual experience they’re supposed to create and can ensure it will engage and delight users as desired.
Develop faster
Developers use the top-notch front-end technologies of their choice (such as React, Angular, Vue, or meta frameworks like Next.js, Gatsby, or Nuxt) and ship faster as designers and developers share one common set of templates.
Reduce costs
Lower your development and ongoing maintenance costs. By making the SPA editable, software development is only needed for the initial setup or for more significant changes, not for every layout change.
Stay on top
Use a SPA as your frontend to reap the benefits of the headless and microservice/SOA approach: flexibility to choose your own tools, better maintainability, less vendor lock-in, and faster turnaround time for experience creation.
Headless for marketers. It's finally here.

An SPA editor empowers marketers
SPAs have been gaining traction, but with the typical headless CMS, marketers work in forms, disconnected from the actual experience they are creating. The Magnolia Visual SPA Editor lets them reuse content across channels and digital touchpoints, while maintaining autonomy for creating and editing all layout and content, and previewing any experience in-context. It’s here. It’s exciting. It’s finally an approach to headless that also empowers marketers.
